Killers without exclusive chase music, what to do? Here's my suggestion
(Hey guys, first of all, I am a new member of the forum. I have been playing Dbd for over 1 year now despite owning the game since 2018. I guess the Resident Evil chapter made me finally try the game out haha. Anyways, this is my first forum post, I hope you like it)
If they make new chase music for every killer remaining without one (Trapper, Wraith, Nurse, Huntress, Cannibal, Hag, Plague, Pig and Nightmare) what happens with the generic music the game already has? I don't think I am okay with removing all of them from the game, I really enjoy every single track. So my suggestion would be to spread the tracks among the killers. Here is what each killer should have:
Trapper (Blood Trail)

This song is the definition of "classic" for Dbd, in my opinion. That's why it should be Trapper's main theme, you know, since Trapper is one of the first killers in the game.
Wraith

(I couldn't find it on youtube, so please if you have a link post in the comments)
The best chase music for Wraith for a single reason: It sounds so urgent and right in your face, perfect for a stealthy killer with a potential for jump scares, and to start chases out of nowhere.
Nurse

The nearby part of the music has a bassline that could be mistaken for a very fast heartbeat, and the actual chase part has a very weird high-pitched noise sounding like an instrument, maybe surgical. Perfect for hospital themes.
Hag

I don't trust people who don't agree this music is perfect for Hag. The nearby part has that funky rhythm that fits the way Hag runs perfectly, almost as if she is dancing to the music. The chase part contains a spooky "uuuuuuh uuuuh" sound very reminiscent of tribal chants. The percussion also sounds like tribal dance music.
Cannibal

(Personal story) When I started playing this game I wasn't used to everything the game could offer, I thought this was an exclusive track for Leatherface. I had a really scary match in Hawkins against a Cannibal that only used m1. Hearing the nearby part whilst trying to take cover somewhere was butt-clenching. Regardless of personal experiences, the "really close" part of the music has a sawblade sound, perfect for chainsaw killers. And the "far" part matches very well how Cannibal runs, in my opinion.
Huntress (Closing In)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SD_zcJuw1S0
Now, this is a hard one. "Closing In" is my favourite track on this list and one of my favourites overall. Huntress is the most common killer in the game, so it's a win-win situation here. However, I do believe Huntress deserves her own chase music. I also believe Plague, Pig and Nightmare deserve their own music. But of all these killers I much rather Huntress have the theme instead of the others. I don't want to hear my fav track once every week.

As a musician, I think a community contest for adding a new chase music would be pretty awesome. Give us the standards and format they need, obviously the main musical "DbD" theme has to be incorporated, etc., but I'd love to put something together for the game, as well as hear others takes on it as well.

I like default music too. But choosing which track will your "default" killer use would be nice

The music I imagine for the Nurse would be in the higher frequencies, eerie; creepy, maybe with some lamentations.
Maybe some variation over https://youtu.be/OPlK5HwFxcw?t=230
This one is very different but it may a bit too stressful for survivors. It was not what I had in mind but I love it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEuXiJ-d2YM

They could rework the default chase music to accommodate the chosen killer a bit more, in this case by adding elements that resembles the Nurse better. I wouldn't mind that
